Why get a designer mattress

May 18, 2013

For those who have not yet treated their mothers on Mother’s Day, it is never too late. Local foam and mattress brand Uratex strongly suggests pampering moms with its premium mattress line designed by ace designer Rajo Laurel. Buying a mattress from the Rajo Laurel line entitles you or your mom to more treats as the brand, manufactured by RGC Group of Companies, partners with Our Home, the furniture store chain with more than 20 stores in major SM malls, for the Mother’s Day promotion Best Mattress for Mom, which lasts until May 31.

The Uratex Rajo Laurel Collection has two stylish and functional kinds of mattresses, which remain popular since they were launched last year. Two years, ago Uratex asked Laurel to design a collection of mattresses for them, and he came up with the Scatola and the Trapunto.
“This was an important step for me because dati ‘di ko alam na nakaka-design ako ng kama (before I didn’t know that I can design a bed),” Laurel averred.
The Scatola, which is “box” in Italian, is a three-fold futon that converts in a cubic ottoman.
“I thought that it would be a catchy phrase to call it that. I love the Scatola as it is useful and practical, but super stylish at the same time,” Laurel explained.
“When I design, it is personal,” he revealed. And Scatola is proof of that. It is perfect for compact living spaces such as a condominium unit, and Laurel said he lives in a small apartment. Additionally, the cover, for the ottoman, has four side pockets that can be used for to put magazines, newspapers, remote controls, cell phones and other small items in, a feature Laurel loves.
